Using the AP10

To answer a call
Depending on how you have configured your AP10, an incoming call can ring on the telephone set connected to the AP10, the receive output, and pass a serial ring to the control device. An incoming call will also cause the front panel On LED to flash. You can answer the call in one of two ways:
•Press the On button [D] on either the front panel or from your remote control. This will route the call through the AP10 to the AP800. The green On LED will light. The red Off LED will extinguish.
– or –
•Answer the call by picking up the telephone handset and talking to your party over the telephone.

To make and disconnect a call
1.Call the party using your handset.
2.After the other party has answered, route the call through the AP10 by pressing the On button [D]. The On LED will light and the AP10 will take control of the call, disabling the telephone set. You can now safely hang up the handset without disconnecting your call.
If using an external controller, it is not necessary to press the On button [D]. The DIAL serial command automatically engages the AP10. See Serial Commands, page 22.
